Good racer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I like the shoe. I find them comfortable (because I sized up) and while I’ve only completed one race in them, I think they’re good racers. I prefer a higher stack for my typical racing shoe, which is lacking here. I’d rather deal with some extra weight to gain some more propulsion. I also don’t love the bottom having no tread pattern. Not sure if the weight of the V5 was a complaint, but I feel unsafe wearing these V6 in any conditions other than dry pavement.

Comfortable, responsive, and ready for race day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It feels cushioned and responsive, with a smooth transition through each stride. The fit feels secure without being restrictive. My favorite feature is the balance between comfort and a propulsive feel—a combination I really appreciate during longer, faster efforts.

Light and fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the SC Elite v6. They’re super lightweight and feel really fast, but the fit is narrower than what I’m used to, so I’m still getting used to them. I think I just need a little more time to adjust to the fit.

Great update

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the 3rd iteration of the super comps that I’ve gotten and they keep being great. They’re comfortable at an easy pace and accelerate quickly. I’m curious to see how they hold up because the top is very light

Super cool looking race day shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect race day shoe, really bouncy and FAST! I really love the lightweight new upper mesh material. I would size about a half size up if you like more toe space.

Bouncy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These feel so fast! Big fan. Bouncy but still supportive. Would recommend sizing up a half size if you have wider feet. Cant wait to race in these!!

Great shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoyed running in these shoes! They were bouncy and had great energy feedback. I have flat feet and they were still really comfortable

Fun, cushioned race shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took these out for a few miles, and found them comfortable and bouncy right out of the box. I wear the 1080s for training runs and did notice these fit a bit smaller, but not quite a full half size down (I had slightly less than a thumb’s width of space in the toe box, so I may just be in between sizes). If you prefer a roomier feel, I’d consider going up half a size from your usual 1080 size. Overall, a solid race shoe and excited to try these for an actual race.

A Surprisingly Stable Super Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity to test run these shoes on a 4-mile run in Central Park in rainy conditions, and I was very impressed. As a physical therapist, long-course Ironman triathlete, marathon runner, and someone who has trained at high volume year-round for over 30 years, I've run in a lot of performance shoes. These felt incredibly lightweight with a very responsive ride. What stood out most was how stable they felt for a racing shoe. The midfoot support was excellent, and the heel wasn't overly built up, so my stride felt natural. The cushioning was more than I'm used to, but it made for a very comfortable run. I was a little surprised the laces weren't serrated, but they stayed tied without any issues. I also ran through a few shallow puddles in the rain, and my feet stayed dry. This was an excellent first impression, and I'm looking forward to racing in these.

Not a fan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They really don’t do anything for me. Had a bad race, so hard not to blame it on the shoe, but I really don’t think they are anything special. Felt like a lightweight trainer. No roll, no pop. Runs half size small. Not really an improvement from the v5… the v5 were bouncy, and these I felt like tried to be slightly bouncy, slightly rockered, but ended up missing the mark on both. Not designed for fast people I think.
